A/PROFESSOR MATTHIAS JAEGER REVIEWS

I've been seeing Dr. Jaeger for about a year and had to undergo brain surgery with him. He is a wonderful doctor, very attentive and straight to the point, while being considerate to my worries. His team at the clinic are always really helpful, calm and friendly and his team at the hospital are fantastic. This was a scary surgery, which I wasn't looking forward to but they mad me feel looked after, and in the hands of an extremely professional team.

On receiving a referral and viewing my scans Dr Jaeger kindly agreed to see me after work before scheduling prompt surgery. He saved my sight and perhaps higher order cognitive functions in a gruelling 12.5hrs surgery. I can’t thank him and his team enough!

The most dedicated, caring and compassionate man, Professor Jaeger takes the time to listen to his patient and explains everything so the patient really understands the diagnosis and treatment options. I have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone needing a great neurosurgeon, he is the best!

DR RAVI KUMAR CHERUKURI REVIEWS

My husband was operated by Dr Cherukuri five weeks ago. On his first consult with him, my husband could not walk, five weeks on and he is walking freely. no pain. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs a professional, knowledgeable, compassionate, and caring specialist. Dr Cherukuri has a great sense of humour, which helps in relaxing and making the patient feel at ease and trusting of his expertise. My husband and I wish him all the very best, and thank him.

Dr Cherukuri operated on my lower back and I am on the road to recovery feeling really good. Dr Cherukuri has a wonderful bedside manner very caring and a great sense of humour.

I can't thank Dr Cherukuri enough. The surgery that my husband had has relieved his pain and given him a new lease on life. He is very amusing and a great surgeon.

DR THOMAS PITHAM REVIEWS

I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional care I received from Dr. Pitham. After a terrible year of dealing with debilitating pain and seeing other doctors, none have been as thorough, compassionate, and dedicated as him. Dr. Pitham took the time to truly investigate the root of my issues, leaving no stone unturned, unlike my previous experiences. His commitment to understanding my pain and finding the right solution has been life-changing. I wouldn’t trust any other neurosurgeon with my health, and I’m deeply thankful for his expertise and care. If you’re looking for a doctor who truly listens, understands, and offers expert care, Dr. Pitham is the one.

Dr Pitham was so wonderful to have as my husbands surgeon. He was kind, compassionate and made time to really listen to our concerns. My husband could barely walk, let alone sit in a chair for more than 30 seconds. Sleep was severely disrupted due to sciatic pain. Following the surgery my Husband was able to walk out of the Hospital without a walking cane or my support. It has been 2 months since the surgery (microdiscectomy) and my Husband remains pain free and medication free and is back working full time. I would recommend Dr Pitham as a neurosurgeon 100%. The amount of relief we have now that we are back to being a happy family is magnificent. Thankyou Dr Pitham and also your amazing team whom we had been in contact quite frequently leading up to the surgery via phone or email. You guys are amazing!!

I cannot speak more highly of Dr Pitham. He has been the most kind, compassionate, reassurring, patient and empathetic medical professional my mother has met in her ongoing, complex care. My mother's words after his appointment... "I feel like I'm in the kindest and most capable hands." This kind of reassurance is priceless when preparing for brain surgery. Thank you Dr Pitham.
